The challenge, and moral imperative, for today's principal is to lead system transformations to resolve the top-down/bottom-up dilemma that exists in systemic change. To end the exodus from the principalship, and for great school leaders to evolve in large numbers, the time to redefine the position is now!

The Moral Imperative of School Leadership, by Michael Fullan


  • Why "changing the context" should be the main agenda for the principalship

  • Why barriers to the principalship exist

  • Why the principal should be seen as the COO (chief operating officer) of a school

  • Why the role of the principal should figure more prominently within the system

  • What individuals and the system can do to transform school leadership to a powerful new force
